Edna Lewis by Mariona Lloreta
(April 13, 1916 – February 13, 2006)
Edna Regina Lewis was an American renowned chef, teacher, and author who helped refine the American view of Southern cooking. She’s often called the Julia Child of the South, but Edna Lewis really needs no such qualifier. She is a culinary icon in her own right. The granddaughter of emancipated slaves in Freetown, Virginia, Lewis was a celebrated chef in New York in the late 1940s and 1950s, a time when chefs who were black or female were a rarity, let alone both.. She championed the use of fresh, in season ingredients and characterized Southern food as fried chicken, pork, and fresh vegetables – most especially greens. She wrote and co-wrote four books which covered Southern cooking and life in a small community of freed slaves and their descendants.
“One of the greatest pleasures of my life has been that I have never stopped learning about Good Cooking and Good Food.” Edna Lewis
